But, I'm not referring to peoples after 10,000BC. eg Nets, villages, etc.
Paleo hunter-gather groups wouldn't live on the water, near the water. Instinct...survival. They would have found protective retreats where they could eat, sleep, etc., safely and the waterside is certainly not it. You can't sleep in the water and while the big cats don't enter the water, sleeping by the waterside in the open provides an easy target.
I'm not a Paleo hunter, but, I certainly wouldn't pitch camp directly on the water in Alaska near bear drinking or feeding sites...I'd find a spot with access to the water but in a safe, protected area that could be defended not only from bear but wolves and other animals interested in protecting their territory or eating my foodstuffs. And I would apply the same rule in Africa...South America.
And we're a nomadic people...how else were bones from the hunter-gatherer era found in the mountains of central Asia? So bugs, rodents were just as important in our evolution as fish, etc.
